THE DONKEY PARTIES.
JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. %.

4 JEFF EhcOn VIII, JAIL 20.
EDITsR BAzoo: The very latest
social wrinkle that's convulsing cap
itol society, is the donkey parties.
Everybody, "that is anybody" is try
ing that dexterous feat of failing the
donkey" Unless one has tried that
sdroit deed, you have no conception
how much mental and physical strain
is required. l have seen grave digni-
taries and willy Representatives, waltz
confidently up to the donkey and
miss him by ten feet Senator Jacobs
came very near attaching the eaudal
appendage to the neck, and Speaker
pro tenn Russell left the rear attach
ment on the off hoof. Senator Gears
the jolliest man in the senate, is con-
templating giving donkey party"
in the basement of the capitol, to
"donkeys" only of the two
foot tribe, and demonstrate
practically that no blinded
man can successfully accomplish the
act in one trial, only. Chris. EIlerbe
actually confessed to having sat up all
night giving his attention to the
donkey" and at the last account had
not been successful, and to-day he has
departed for st. Louis in dis rust, and
will seek the consolation the postoffice
corners afford, tomorrow.
THE CAPITAL REMOVAL QUESTION
came up very unexpectedly this week
and gave us great scare. l began
to look around to see
if Billy Steele hadn't hold of one
corner as a preliminary movement
before rnnning. but heard later he
was seen at the depot ready to leave,
with fearful eyes 1deprecating the snap
judgment they had taken in precipi-
tating the matter. One member
said he wished the removal
question prolonged until the
last day, as he rather en-
ljoyed the attending pulling, haul
ing and carressing he received from
both sides. If Sedalia would only
send a delegation of ladies down, the
question would speedily terminate
and the siege of war would be more
evenly balanced, your know you need
ed only seven votes to have gained
the victory and if you would send
some of your pretty and smart girls
here you would speedily gain the lost
seven votes and victory woule crown
your effort.
/ am a great stickler for the inhu-
ence of women in politics and insist
you Sedalians are making a serious
mistake in not sending to the lobby
your ladies, who are notably the pre-
test and wittiest In central Missouri.
